Nature or nurture? When it comes to skincare, wise women want both. Local lovely Lisa Alexander has spent the past six years trying to capture the essence of nature nurtured by the latest scientific research.

Fashion insider Tatiana Sorokko received an early set of samples; when her housekeeper inquired about Sorokko’s newly radiant skincare regime, she knew Alexander was onto something special. MORE
